A Brevard legend, Jim Myers aka WWE Hall of Fame wrestler George "The Animal" Steele, will make a rare appearance Saturday when he stops by Books-A-Million to sign copies of his book "Animal."

Through his book, Jim shares the balance he kept between being an educator and coach and being the green-tongued, turnbuckle-eating wrestling legend that barely spoke a word. It is a story of his struggles through life with dyslexia and overcoming Crohn's disease and how he became one of wrestling's most memorable and beloved characters.
